It would appear that our recent editorial, which opines about things iOS does better than Android, has scored us some points in Cupertino. Today, the moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Yes, you guessed it. Android Police is now available through Apple News!

From this point forward, you can use Apple's amazing News app on your favorite iOS device to catch up on all the tech news, hard-hitting commentary, and razor-sharp reviews you've come to expect from Android Police. Just imagine, you can enjoy your favorite tech news site (we ARE your favorite, right?!?!?!?!) while reveling in the better battery life, carrier integration, and messaging that's offered on that awesome iPad Air 2 that David told you to pick up for Christmas.

We here at Android Police always keep our readers in mind. With that said, enjoy being able to read our content in the most beautiful way imaginable. You don't have to thank us, really. It's all in a day's work.

Don't encourage him. An article like that is not needed. iOS does what it does and Android does what it does.

Joseph Cascio

Because comparing and contrasting won't improve both OSs. It's only natural that if you post one of those articles, you have to do another for the other OS. Like you said: iOS does what it does and Android does what it does.

Patrick Smithopolis

He wrote the articles for hits and nothing more and as a bonus he got a shout out in Apple News. An article comparing and contrasting OSs does nothing to improve any OS. All it does is provoke fanboy wars.

Joseph Cascio

Except he made very valid points and criticized Android's weaknesses. The Android Devs frequent AP all the time and no doubt saw that post. They have also proven time and time again that they take AP's suggestions/criticism serious. We can expect Android to improve in the area's he mentioned.

Patrick Smithopolis

He criticized what he perceives are weaknesses of Android. A reverse article would do they same - criticize what he perceives are weaknesses of iOS. In my opinion, these types of articles are pointless.

jonathan3579

You sound like one of the people who were sending nasty emails about them writing about iOS. Several (not all) of his points I agreed on as a user of both iOS and Android. You should get over yourself.

Patrick Smithopolis

There's no need to email them when they have a comment section.

It's their website and they can write whatever they want. I was just expressing my opinion that this Android iOS back and forth is a pointless endeavor. You can have the last word.

jonathan3579

Thanks.

squiddy20

And what's wrong with criticism, especially when it's valuable, constructive criticism? Further, how is it "pointless" if someone, somewhere reads it and puts some of these suggestions into practice? If even one of those suggestions makes it into the next version or two of Android, your entire argument would be moot.

Zsolt V

"The Android Devs frequent AP all the time"

Proof?

AsterMK

Google updated the N7 2013 LTE to 5.0 a day after AP complained about the lack of a Lollipop update. It might've still been a coincidence, but still.

No, that is accurate. The examples extend beyond that post from 2013 and include far more than just teardowns. There are plenty of Googlers that read AP (at least with some regularity), some of which have made comments here from time to time, and a few have even publicly referenced our posts on Google+ and Twitter for one reason or another. I've also received a few comments in private after posting some articles.

Anyway, with that said, feel free to return to arguing for whatever point you're trying to make.

Renaldi I.

See Disqus user Dianne Hackborne - is evidently a Googler and part of the Android team, and has commented here several times.

JV Detmer

wow! I never reply to anyone but comparing and contrasting DOES improve products, not because "the big giants" read this articles 24/7 of course, in any marketing class they teach this and it's call "competitiveness", have you heard about it?

Patrick Smithopolis

How does a post on an Android website help with competitiveness?

Joseph Cascio

You can't really be asking that question, especially after my post above. I explained exactly how Android improves from these types of post. Put two and two together. If Android improves in those weak areas, iOS must also improve in the same or different areas to regain some things it does better. It's a constant back and forth battle of improvement that we, the consumers, benefit from. Now if no one talked about each OS's strengths and weaknesses, how would devs know which areas need improvement. We would be at a stand still in development. We need big websites such as AP to post these articles which basically sums up the voices of the majority and can actually reach the right people.

Now, I've typed way too much, so this will be my last post to you. I hope now you aren't as ignorant on this topic. Just because you don't like these articles, doesn't mean they have no purpose.

Zsolt V

"I explained exactly how Android improves from these types of post"

Lol, like somebody at Google would say: "Holy fuck, I've never realized what we need to improve until the hard-hitting article on Android Police pointed it out."

Dream on, dude.

squiddy20

Oh, so you've never had someone point out something glaringly obvious that you just didn't get? You've never lost something and someone else found it, right in front of you? You've never done something that someone else didn't see/do, even though it the obvious choice to you?
Sorry we're all not perfect little humans like yourself.

squiddy20

So you've never gone through the user reviews on whatever product you're buying through Amazon, and decided to pick a similar product from a different seller/manufacturer? Is it really that hard to imagine a company doing the reverse?

d

Exactly. It provokes fanboy wars. What's more fun that seeing bunch of idiots fights over some crappy phones?

Serge Cebrian

and those wars are sometimes funny to be involved on!!

Theo

correction: iOS does what it does and Android does almost everything one way or another...

When I saw the check of 5936 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his free time with his PC. . His aunt's neighbor has done this for only 11 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car . Look here for details.

It would be fing hilarious if Dan Dilger of appleinsider reposted this article, and not knowing the joke was on him, because that's what his articles are all about!

lol

Yaay now iPhone users can get links for nexus OTA updates.

Lol

now ios userscan understand why android is better

Just_Some_Nobody

I use both daily. There is no better. They are both great and yet they both have warts.

z0phi3l

Try harder then, there isn't much iOS does better than Android, no matter what the article claimed

Just_Some_Nobody

Says you, idiot.

iPhone_user1

It has a better ecosystem for starters.

Michael Smith

Ecosystem better than Android? in what way? Apple services pale in comparison to Google's.

Total Faith

I, as an Android power User, can just confirm what you said. My father (best example of a starter, lol) just bought himself an Ipad. Now he also uses an Android HTC One M8 smartphone with the newest Android iteration 6.0 (or 6.0.1) and he is happy with both. But he thinks that the ios device is much easier to handle and understand than the more complex Android device. And he is right! But for me, there is nothing better than Android at the moment. I am intelligent enough to understand Android's complexity. My father is already too old ;/

I use Android phone but iPad and would still choose iPad over and Android tablets any day

Hmmm, isn't Apple News designed to give people like Google the shaft on ad revenue?

Before I go on, is there a nice friendly app for this site? You know like, for android?

And no, there is no chance in hell I'd pick up an ipad 2. Screw that shit.

pfmiller

Chrome works pretty well as a reader for this site on Android. Glad I could help!

sproc

Curse you :)
I don't mind chrome, but sometimes, well, they might have a nice formatted app for it.

Yes this, what's the point if the article is going to be cut and you need to view the mobile page to read the rest of it?

anon

Happens in Flipboard too.

alacrify

I was going to make a comment that Ermaghred was unprofessional. Based on the comments you're doing a great job reaching your readers. I'm apparently not not your target demographic, since I know what demographic means and I'm not 12. Or interested in a trollfight, so don't even start. I won't listen.

Quite, the whole ios vs android seems rather pointless when ios users are having to run Google apps and services to make it usable (or now MS's too, if they want to pretend they're "pro"), apple might as well be yet another Google OEM. It's like year ago when mac users used to moan about windows, then you found they were running outlook, IE, office etc...

andy_o

I'd forgotten about it. It's nice, but my gripe with it (and with GNow) is that you can't block sources. Like I need my science news from Fox News and my tech news from BGR.

RespawnAnon

But why tho?

TheSpaceUnicorn

Why not tho?

To redeem yourself, start working on an AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) version of the site NOW.

davidofmidnight

" (we ARE your favorite, right?!?!?!?!)"

Do you even need to ask?

Mehmet

I don't expect any tech news from Android Police, I expect ANDROID news! Get yourself another domain name before you trick your loyal following. I've been annoyed with iOS only releases news and now this! Don't become a joke!

Martin

Just cut your internet cable.

Dn Bro

I hope this is sarcasm. I am a huge Android fan, and will need something major (such as a significant price drop or apple working with Project Fi) to switch, but come on. Android is where it is because it works to stay ahead of Apple. Without Apple, Android with not be moved along. That is what Competition is all about. Stop being fanboys (fangirls?) for one and realize that competition is a good thing.

Lord Argyris

Reading about one platform while using a device based on a different platform? Pfft! Apple is behind the curve, as usual. Android has had that feature for at least as long as I've been using it (since late 2013), and I've heard rumors it may have even launched with this capability. Not only that, but it's even backwards compatible with extremely old versions of competitors' platforms. For instance, using my Android devices I have happily read John Siracusa's excellent articles on Ars Technica about the very earliest versions of OS X, and those predate Apple's current iOS platform by as much as eight years in some cases.

Somewhat amusing, though I can't help thinking this is as relevant as "Google includes Apple in its search results!"

My android devices are fine for battery (I wouldn't pick an apple phone for that), carrier integration and messaging (I'm not given a messaging system that only works with people using the same make of device as me). It's unfortunate that David made AP a laughing stock in the mainstream media with that apple advert, but it seems no one listened to him with the huge drop in sales that occurred during that timeframe. The only use I have for an ipad heavy is to prop the door open while I use my windows 2-in-1 (even my much lighter nexus "air" 7 gets rarely used these days, my android phone does it all, leaving a PC for the things mobile OSs don't do well).

Martin

I am iOS user but I like to keep an eye on Android. You never know when there will be something to make you switch. Really interested in LG G5 and the new Galaxy. So this is great for me, news app will save me time. :)

vcb

I'm an Android user who keeps an eye on the iPhone. I will to be in your camp hopefully with the iPhone 7.

Phil

Quite obviously some money, goods, invites changed hands in all of this, as the things that iOS does better than Android was ill researched horseshit.

This is cool, at the moment I use a iPhone 6s but I always go on this website so that's good news for me, I'd much rather read up on android which always has something interesting rather than a dummy guide on how long press the home button on an iPhone lmao

Since it keeps coming up, hilariously. This post was a troll. Apple didn't influence anything. One of our readers asked me to add our feed to Apple News, and I did. 2 days later (today), it was accepted.

gk

AP doesn't need to explain to trolls. I'm glad more people will be able to read AP.

AB

Thanks. Everytime my Nexus runs out of battery I fall back to the ever reliable Iphone.

senor_heisenberg

Yeah, I thought it was obvious. I hope no one took my "traitors!" post serious either.

tay

Can I get AppleNews_androidPORT.apk plz?

Yeshu

About time!

reggjoo

Both OS's do the same thing, except one is more restrictive in what you can do, when you want to do, what you do. There's instances of one doing something better, than the other, but you can still(mostly) get there. I must say that android, let's you be more personal in doing what you do.
